Raw Charge explains the pick:

Reinhart has the pedigree of an NHL’er, as his father Paul played for the Vancouver Canucks and Flames organization (drafted by the Flames when they were still in Atlanta). His brothers, Max and Sam, also play hockey currently in the WHL, with Max having been drafted in 2010 by the Flames and Sam being WHL rookie of the year this season (and draft eligible in 2014).

Next on the clock are the Washington Capitals, making their selection with the pick acquired from the Colorado Avalanche in the Seymon Varlamov trade.
